To redirect links from WordPress to Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Set up your Webflow website: Make sure that your Webflow website is live and accessible. This means that you have published your Webflow website and it has its own URL.

  2. Install a redirection plugin on your WordPress site: To easily redirect links, you can use a redirection plugin. One popular option is the "Redirection" plugin, which allows you to manage redirects within your WordPress admin dashboard.

  3. Activate the redirection plugin: Once you have installed the redirection plugin, activate it by navigating to the "Plugins" section in your WordPress admin dashboard and clicking on the "Activate" button for the redirection plugin you installed.

  4. Create redirect rules: In the WordPress admin dashboard, you can find the redirection plugin settings. Look for the option to add a new redirect rule and click on it.

  5. Configure custom redirects: In the add new redirect rule section, enter the WordPress URL you want to redirect from in the "Source URL" field. Then, enter the corresponding Webflow URL (the destination URL) in the "Target URL" field.

  6. Save the redirect rule: After entering the source and target URLs, save the redirect rule. The redirection plugin will take care of redirecting any traffic that hits the old WordPress URL to the new Webflow URL.

  7. Test the redirect: To ensure that the redirection is working correctly, open a new browser tab and enter the old WordPress URL. It should automatically redirect to the new Webflow URL.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly redirect links from your WordPress site to your new Webflow website.
